Chapter 140 Under the nest, the eggs are not finished
Shen family.
"Prime Minister, Princess Chaoyang...has been kneeling under the tree."
Shen Qingzhou was indifferent and looked at the book in his hand quietly.
"Prime Minister...if there is really something wrong..."
"Bai Li's daughter is not so fragile." Shen Qingzhou said calmly, still not intending to let Chaoyang go.
"Prime Minister, if His Majesty asks..."
"What? Your Majesty has to take care of your daughter when she comes to pay homage to her mother?" Shen Qingzhou asked lightly, put down the ancient book in his hand, and continued to play with the music box on the table.
It is recorded in the book that all the solutions to the music box are nothing more than vertical and horizontal, forward and backward...
But he tried many methods but couldn't open the mechanism of the box.
Moreover, this music box is made of special materials, the mechanism and lock are very delicate, and there is still the slightest smell of gunpowder inside.
If he opens it forcefully, the mechanism inside will be triggered and all the things Baili left for him will be burned.
He couldn't take the risk.
"Your Majesty! General Mu Huaicheng made a sudden night visit. It seems he came directly from the military camp." The housekeeper came nervously and was a little worried.
Shen Qingzhou narrowed his eyes and slammed the music box on the table.
…
The main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"General Mu Huaicheng suddenly came to visit late at night, what's the matter?" Shen Qingzhou's pressure condensed, and he never had a good look towards the Mu family.
"I'm sorry for disturbing the Prime Minister late at night. I took my uncle's last wish and came here to take my sister-in-law home." Mu Huaicheng was wearing armor and holding a long sword. Although he was not here to threaten Shen Qingzhou, he made his position clear.
What's more, Shen Qingzhou has no right to leave Chaoyang without permission.
"Really?" Shen Qingzhou said lightly, sneering like all living beings. "Last wish?"
What kind of last wish can a person who has been dead for so many years have?
"Please take a look at it, Prime Minister." Mu Huaicheng gave Shen Qingzhou the family letter that Mu Jingyan left back then, his voice neither humble nor arrogant.
Shen Qingzhou reached out and took it, his body and breathing began to tremble.
The anger in his eyes seemed to burn the paper, and he couldn't control himself and tore the letter into pieces.
Mu Jingyan said that the child in Baili's belly was his... No matter what, let the Mu family take good care of their mother and daughter.
ha?
Bai Li was his Shen Qingzhou's woman, and it was his turn to be Mu Jingyan's boss.
"It's late at night, so I won't disturb you, junior, and I'll take my leave first!" After saying that, Mu Huaicheng went to pick up Chaoyang.
"Mu Huaicheng." Shen Qingzhou threw away the letter in his hand and stood up. "The late emperor left a will before his death."
"Go and get it." Then he motioned to the butler to get it.
Mu Huaicheng's body stiffened and his fingers became numb.
He knew that the Mu family should not take this trip into troubled waters, but the Mu family owed Chaoyang something and they could not let it go.
But his coming this time must have angered Shen Qingzhou.
Shen Qingzhou wanted to destroy the Mu family for more than a day or two...
I hope your Majesty can keep his promise and sacrifice himself... to protect the entire Mu family.
"By God's blessing, the emperor's edict says..." The steward read the edict.
Mu Huaicheng knelt down respectfully.
"Fengtian is willing to make good friends with Dayu and make Chaoyang the Princess of Chaoyang. General Mu Huaicheng will go to escort him. He must deliver it safely and complete this important mission..."
Mu Huaicheng's body stiffened instantly, and he took the imperial edict with trembling fingers.
If it was the late emperor's edict... then the late emperor's purpose was very clear.
If Chaoyang had any problems on his way to get married, which would lead to a war between Dayu and Fengtianbianguan, he would not be able to escape the blame for his death, and it would even implicate the entire Mu family.
If Chaoyang's marriage goes smoothly, it will be difficult for him to come back from the border...
Whether it is Shen Qingzhou or the hidden thread left by the late emperor, he will completely disappear.
If Mu Huai's life can bring stability to the Mu family, it would be worth it.
"The last general takes command!"
…
backyard.
Chaoyang's forehead was sweating a little and his face was pale.
Even she herself didn’t know about this bet... What did she really want to verify?
Is it Shen Qingzhou's fatal weakness or Xiao Junze's kind thoughts?
Or, does Xiao Junze have any kindness towards her...
"Princess..." Chunlan came back with red eyes. "Get up quickly. General Mu is here to pick you up. His Majesty agrees that you go and get married."
Chaoyang's body stiffened for a moment, and then his eyes became moist and turned red.
Xiao Junze...
In this game, Xiao Junze compromised. Although it was just an insignificant decision, for Chaoyang... it was like seeing a faint light.
He braced himself and tried to stand up, but Chaoyang couldn't stand firm.
"Princess!" Chunlan supported Chaoyang in panic.
"I'm fine..." Tears fell silently to the ground. All Chaoyang's strength was just a disguise.
Xiao Junze was once a beam of light in her dark abyss, but it was not until Chaoyang realized that that beam of light was not salvation, it was so dazzling that it hurt.
She is a person living in hell. A little bit of kindness and kindness from others can make her heart start to sprout, and then infinite madness breeds and entangles...
Chaoyang knew that Mu Huaicheng's arrival meant that Xiao Junze agreed to the marriage, which meant that... she would leave Fengtian soon.
"After I leave, I will give this tip bag to Your Majesty." Chaoyang smiled. She might not be able to see Xiao Junze before leaving, so she asked Chunlan to give it to him...
She promised to help Xiao Junze get rid of Xiao Chengen.
She looked up at the night and saw that she was leaving.
Everything in Fengtian has nothing to do with him.
Xiao Junze treated her very badly. He gave her the torture and pain, but he also gave her the sunshine and hope she once had.
Chaoyang doesn't hate Xiao Junze. He can't bless him, but he only hopes that the two of them will be well from now on... as far apart as the world.
Smiling with relief, Chaoyang looked back at the white pear tree in full bloom.
I hope her mother can be truly free.
…
Deep in the backyard, a dark figure stared at the rising sun and left, then turned and disappeared.
…
"Princess... let Chunlan follow you?" Chunlan was afraid, afraid that your majesty would use her to blackmail Chaoyang, so that even if Chaoyang went to get married, he would not be able to gain true freedom.
"No..." Chaoyang shook his head.
"The journey here is long and dangerous. I can't let you take the risk." Chaoyang knew very well that once she left the Fengtian border on her way to Dayu, there would be many people who wanted her life.
It would be too dangerous for anyone to follow her.
"Princess..." Chunlan cried.
"Don't be afraid..." Chaoyang reassured Chunlan. "Your Majesty will treat you well."
She left a message in the kit, hoping that Xiao Junze would treat Chunlan well after he achieved his wish.
Chunlan cried and wiped her tears, she was reluctant to leave the morning sun.
"Princess Chaoyang, Mo Jiangmu Huaicheng, is here to take the princess home."
Outside the courtyard, Mu Huaicheng was dressed in military uniform, holding a long sword and extending his hand towards the rising sun.
Chaoyang's vision was a little blurry and he stood frozen for a long time.
I heard that Mu Huaicheng, the general of the Mu family, was a young man who became talented in both literature and martial arts. He was the descendant of the Mu family who could best rival General Mu Jingyan.
Mu Huaicheng is the eldest son of the Mu family. He is two years older than Mu Huaisang, but he is still young and mature, with a figure as tall and straight as a pine tree.
The Mu family has a talented general. Mu Huaicheng's eyes are cold and the aura of chill around him is the result of years of experience in garrisoning.
"Thank you, General..."
After a long time, Chaoyang slowly came back to his senses.
She guessed that Mu Jingyan, who loved her mother when she was young and would give up everything for her mother and fly away, was probably what Mu Huaicheng is now.
